The Prize

When I woke up this morning, a duck was on my head.
I asked “What are you doing there?”
It looked at me and said:

I am the duck of Bliggity
I’ve come to discuss your prize
And so I thought I would sit here
Until you open your eyes

I have come with a mission to say what
Bliggity Blaggity Blog has said
The only way I can tell you
Is if I am perched upon your head

“Tell me Tell me
Oh Bliggity’s Duck
What have you brought me?
Oh Duck of Good Luck?”

Your prize will come soon
Please do not worry
It’s just that Bliggity
Is in no hurry

But do not fret
And do not frown
For this prize will turn
Your world upside down!

“It better be good
It better be grand
It ought to be super
And definitely not bland

For the wait is long
And I can see
That prize will be AMAZING
From Bliggity”

coffee

I have to take issue with something. Dave Ramsey... love him. usually. But, today... I got an email from him (not because we're personal friends but because we've paid to take his FPU class)... and he had the NERVE to say that coffee is not a necessity. it is a luxury. I'm contemplating my open letter to him. Something like this... Dear Dave, Although I appreciate all that you have done in your life and ministry, I have to take issue with one point. Coffee is not a luxury. How can I ask my husband to extend a special line item in our budget for Starbucks when you continue to claim that it is a luxury? Let me educate you on the value of my daily Starbucks .... First of all, it is research... when I get the necessary funds, I plan to open my own coffee shop, and it is vital to my financial peace that I complete the research needed for a successful coffee shop. Secondly, ... have you SEEN me in the morning when I don't have it? Do you work beside me? No... you haven't...

Quick! Call an Ambulance!

I went on a bike ride with my 9 year old yesterday. Okay... I will wait a minute while you gain your composure. You don't have to be so loud about it. I had been promising her that we would go on a bike ride together for a few days. Why didn't I promise her a trip to Starbucks for a nice hot latte? So, we ditched a few responsibilities and went on a bike ride. But, I didn't have a bike. So, I was going to walk. She said I could borrow Abbie's bike. Except Abbie has the bike seat from the land down under - you know what I mean. And my rear was not meant to sit on that tiny thing. But, I rode it anyway. After we crossed the street, we started heading down the road and it was pretty nice for a couple minutes. Luckily, my dad lives 2 blocks away, so we had to stop there to say hi and to tell him that we are on a bike ride. Then, we headed back on our bike ride. We left my dad's and there is a slight hill. Emily got tired just-in-the-nick-of-time so I had to walk...
